Gary K. Wolfe and Adrienne Martini Review The Album of Dr. Moreau by Daryl Gregory

July 15, 2021Adrienne Martini, Gary K. Wolfe

Already in the public domain for years, H.G. Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau has practi­cally spawned a microgenre all its own, with Brian Aldiss, Gwyneth Jones (as Ann Halam), Gene Wolfe, Theodora Goss, the Simpsons, and even Marlon Brando having a whack at the story or its characters and themes. I’m pretty sure, though, that Daryl Gregory is the first to come up with the notion that those human/beast hybrids would make a dandy boy band. It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise; Gregory has been fasci­nated with the plasticity of the body and altered humans throughout his career: the grotesquely transformed residents of a small town in The Devil’s Alphabet, a zombie somehow raised from infancy in Raising Stony Mayhall, the victims of mutilations, cannibals, and cults in We Are All Completely Fine. The idea of mashing up the closest thing Wells wrote to a pure horror story with KPop-style media stardom might sound fatally whimsical, except for two things: the compassion with which Gregory customar­ily treats his most damaged characters, and his decision to cast the whole tale as a locked-room murder mystery with all its formal conventions, even to the point of quoting T.S. Eliot’s “five rules of detective fiction” (which, for the most part, Gregory cheerfully ignores).

Calling themselves the WyldBoyZ, the band members are all genetic human-animal hybrids, victims of a heinous Moreau-like program on a mysterious barge, which we eventually learn about as their backstory unfolds. Rescued by an Ecuadoran fishing boat after they escape, they become an international tabloid sensation, and then a musical sensation once they come under the management of a sleazy promoter who calls himself Dr. M – who has been ripping them off royally, mostly by taking advantage of their legal status (technically, they entered the country as livestock). As they gain fame, they inevitably adopt the de rigueur roles of boy band members – the romantic one (part bonobo), the shy one (part pangolin), the funny one (a giant bat), the smart one (part elephant), and the cute one (part ocelot). The mystery opens when Bobby O – the cute one – wakes up in his hotel room covered in blood, the butchered corpse of their manager in bed next to him. He has no memory of what happened after a wild party the night before, but he’s not the only suspect: another band member has been sleeping with the manager’s opportu­nistic wife. The detective assigned to the case, Lucia Delgado, also happens to be the mother of a nine-year-old WyldBoyZ superfan, setting up some tension as well as some rather sweet sitcom moments for later in the story.

As usual, Gregory writes with empathy and in­sight about the plight of damaged outsiders, as the unique problems and resentments of each of the band members emerge during the investigation. His neatest trick is keeping the grim backstory balanced with the sort of wacky good humor that teen superstars are expected to display, and with the formal demands of the locked-room proce­dural. The whole thing is structured as an album, with 14 tracks, an introduction, and a “bonus track,” and framed as a letter sent years later to the detective’s grown daughter, now a superstar herself. As with much of Gregory’s fiction, there’s a sentimental edge to the grotesquerie, and a grotesque edge to the comedy (which sometimes edges into James Morrow territory), but it all somehow works, thanks to Gregory’s essentially optimistic humanism and his apparent total lack of concern about recriminations from Wells’s vengeful ghost.

-Gary K. Wolfe

Daryl Gregory’s novella The Album of Dr. Moreau is a wink to the H.G. Wells novel but wholly its own detective story about a murder, an intrepid investigator, and genetic engineering. It’s about a million times more entertaining than both the Wells novel and the Val Kilmer-vehicle that was made from it.

It’s 2001 in Gregory’s Las Vegas. Last night, the WyldBoyZ, a boy band, played their last show. This morning, the band’s Svengali-esque Dr. M is discovered dead, shredded to death by someone or something with big claws. Band member Bobby woke up in the same bed as the dead doctor and, given that he’s part ocelot, happens to have very big claws. Detective Luce Delgado, who has her own very Vegas backstory, is called in to figure out whodunnit. The result is a straight-up detective tale with science fictional tropes about gene splic­ing underpinning the whole world. There are puns a’plenty and colorful characters to keep the tone brisk and engaging. Underneath, however, there are questions about what makes a human human, and that makes Gregory’s sleight-of-hand more meaningful than it first appears.

[daisywords]

I stalked your wip page a bit, are you going to continue writing Starlight during NaNo? :D Also 8, 9, 12 and 15 for the nanowrimo ask?

ask

Yeah! Starlight is my NaNo project, bc I haven’t really made that super clear. I don’t know if that’s like cheating or whatever, bc I’ve been working on it for a while, but I definitely need at least 50k more. I’m actually doing NaNo mostly to get myself to finish Starlight faster. 

8. Any inspirations?

So I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but Starlight has its roots in games I played with my siblings when we were little. And I don’t know how many people have heard of Great Wolf Lodge, but there’s this game called MagiQuest there (I think you can do it other places too idk) that’s basically like an interactive scavenger hunt around the building, right? And to play, you need to buy these wands that interact with all the props and stuff. So we somehow convinced our parents to buy them for us, and we totally had a blast with this stuff. (I think I was like 9 or 10?) But anyway we came home with these fancy wands, so naturally we had to make up a complicated game and universe for which they were suitable, right? And we each had our own character to play, because of course. 

My character was named Jinna, and she had illusion powers and could turn into a bird, because why not? And oh yeah she also had a wicked sword.

My older sister’s character was named Gwen, and she had plant/nature powers and could turn into an ocelot, and she was an archer.

And then my younger brother’s character was named Jathan, and he had fire powers and could turn into a fox. He also fought with a sword, because that was back in the day when he and I would play fencing all the time with our nerf swords. 

And then my younger sister’s character was named Ariana, and she could talk to animals and I think turned into a mouse or a squirrel, I can’t remember which. 

Anyway, I was already a weird daydreamer child who made up complicated stories, so naturally the “magic game” had to become a huge thing for me. Mostly I made up scenarios and weird universe rules and they went along with it sometimes. So. 

Gradually, it turned into less of a game and more of a wip thing for me, and I didn’t want to play it anymore bc my siblings were ruining their characters. ( an interesting note is that Jathan and Ariana were basically the same person as the respective sibling, but Jinna and Gwen were a lot like my older sister and I, but flipped. I’m taller and quiet, so my Jinna was shorter and more outgoing, and my sister is short and more outgoing, so her Gwen was tall and quiet. Probably just because we two were old enough to be self aware and thus have like. low self esteem? idk.)

And eventually, Gwen turned into Kirsta (ask me about the other inspirations behind Kirsta bc that is another pile of longs stories) and she also sprouted a brother, Kor, who mostly existed to round out the gender ratio. So I had a working story about Jinna, Kirsta, Kor, Jathan, and Ariana, who still had cool magic powers but lost the ability to turn into animals somewhere along the way. 

9. When did you come up with the idea?

So Starlight has gone through a lot of different “ideas,” but here’s the incomplete story:

When I was 12, my best friend emailed me (lol) and was like ‘hey we should write a book together! (At this point I was already like dead set on being a writer and she been knew) and I was like ‘Sounds great! what did you have in mind?”

Turns out like not much, so I rifled through my mental file of ideas I wasn’t that invested in, and came back with my old mirror portal fantasy idea and a few others, but she picked the mirror portal fantasy. 

So what we started writing was basically this:

A girl named Ali lives in modern NYC and figures out that she can walk through mirrors. The mirror realm connects all mirrors on earth, but it also connects all realms/universes in the multiverse (for some reason idk.) Turns out she’s from a different realm, and she has to go save her realm from the bad guys/creatures who are trying to take over all the realms. Yeah. 

Eli pretty much sprang to life fully formed into this version, and so did Saref. And this version is where the plot of finding Eli that basically exists pretty unchanged as the main throughline of Starlight right now.

By like chapter 2, we hit a roadblock called ‘this story has a strong throughline but literally nothing else to it’s name, and I was already getting bored, bc honestly I didn’t care about any of the characters except maybe Eli. (And actually, og Ali was p much the worst mc, bc she was super passive and literally never acted on her own or made any choices.) But my bff was still very into it, so basically one day I was like k we’re going to add/change some stuff, and basically superimposed my “magic game story” right on top of it. In retrospect, this actually worked out quite well, seeing as the “magic game story” had everything but any kind of throughline. So I basically renamed Jinna Ali, and all was fine and dandy. Eventually I phased out the portal fantasy aspect entirely, and Ali was no longer from the modern world. (And now the mirror concept belongs to its own urban fantasy wip bc I can’t get rid of any ideas) 

so around 2013, we actually had a pretty clear outline and a draft moving along, and the plot basically stayed the same until like 2017, (when I came back to Starlight and realized that the plot was, um, invented by 13 year olds.)

And then my 2017 plot conflicted with a lot of the worldbuilding/subplots, and it’s basically been major overhaul since then, but now it’s kind of stabilized (I hope)

(The whole story about how we got from there to here is way too long, just like this post already is)

12. Who’s your favorite character so far?

I’m super attached to a lot of them, but Alya, Kirsta, and Kor especially have a place in my heart. (I can never pick 1 favorite of anything lol)15. What’s your character’s favorite memory with another?

answered here

ok tl;dr Starlight is my NaNo project, it’s been a weird and convoluted process, and if you’ve noticed that my characters are weirdly color-coded, it’s bc they’re based on MagiQuest™ wands

[fancyshooting]

ok i'm curious to hear your thoughts: how many outfits do you think he has and how often does he update his wardrobe? does he have 6000 pairs of cowboy boots or 6? that kind of thing

image is sooo important to him... I think he values appearance because it gives off a sense of capability. being a major at 20 is practically unheard of so I think he was meticulous about his presentation to convince his detractors that he was deserving of respect regardless of his age. no one can say he doesn't look the part. he wants it to be clear that he is taking the rank seriously and his favourable treatment is more than plain nepotism. we are told in mgs3 how deeply he treasures his beret, which is THE symbol of his ability. he earned the right to wear it after completing spetsnaz training (or did he?? maybe he got special boy fast tracking leniency privileges... either way the beret is a status symbol that indicates his superiority over regular troops). he's eager to prove himself not just for personal validation but also because securing that role as major allows him access to all the privileges that come with it like idk authority, information, clearance for certain areas etc. then he can be a more efficient spy yay

more under the cut because I cannot take your entire dashboard up

he is extremely observant and detail oriented, so he's going to be very particular about the way he looks. fastidious cat and all that too hehe

obviously there is a heavy western influence on his style but he gravitates towards the fancier clothes instead of plaid shirts and jeans. I think he would turn his nose up at fringed shirts and chaps and stuff like that because they lack ELEGANCE and NOBILITY. he dresses more like the town doctor than a working rancher. when he's not in uniform he chooses to wear formal, traditional clothes like waistcoats and suits. I actually don't really like his outfit in mgsv for this reason lolol like the undone top buttons are so NOT ocie imo... who da heck is this guy...

although after that excerpt I posted we know now that he is a sweaty mess. he's used to the cold and it's hot in the seychelles so he's got to have a little relief. that's my explanation anyway (real true fact)

I think his wardrobe is likely to be made up of classic, timeless items like the suits and waistcoats etc... high quality but not designer... fancy but not flashy... it's funny actually you'd think he would be louder and bolder with his fashion what with his showy ways but he isn't. he's got a gentlemanly thing going on LOL even the accessories like the pocket watch and tie pin in mgs1 and the moustache... #classy

idk why but the thought of him as a young spetsnaz soldier attaching spurs to his standard issue boots is so funny. he went out of his way to get those. he sat there in his quarters all excited and fastened spur straps around each thoroughly polished boot. he would've had to take the time to twice assemble all the metal parts together. he chose to jingle all for the cool factor. everyone knows you don't have a horse ocelot -_-

then he got a horse and all was right again :) cowboy boots gained. spurs acceptable. I think if he's going to have anything elaborate it's going to be the boots. not vibrant colours or anything tacky but I can see his boots having some patterns... maybe still quite subtle but intricate on closer inspection. nothing too wacky. he needs to be taken as seriously as a russian cowboy can be

there is no better opportunity than now to mention the note in the mgs1 artbook that says he has "silky silver hair." the most beautiful interrogator in all of russia... there's that instruction kojima gave yoji shinkawa too during the production of mgsv - to make ocelot the most beautiful (he didn't know how to make a middle aged man beautiful so gave him long eyelashes lolol). kojima also described him in mgs3 as handsome. he is kind of a pretty boy but in a different way from kaz... ocelot's like an old fashioned dandy and kaz is a sunkissed baywatch magazine model... or something like that.....

to me he's going for like a dashing rogue sort of thing lolol like he's well-groomed, dressed all fancy and thinks he's noble but his haughty attitude, deceitfulness and nefarious scheming ways put him in the bastard scoundrel category

ENJOY MY WALL OF TEXT TY FOR ASKING <3

#I support his style choices B) #ask #etc.

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech (Salvador Dalí)

Salvador Dalí en 1939. Fotografía de Carl Van Vechten.

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech; conocido simplemente como Salvador Dalí, fue un pintor, escultor, grabador, escenógrafo y escritor español, considerado uno de los mayores representantes del surrealismo. 

Nació el veinte de mayo de mil novecientos cuatro (1904), en Figueres, provincia de Girona, España, muy cerca de la frontera con Francia. 

Criado en el ceno de una familia burguesa, su padre; abogado, tenía un carácter muy estricto, que contrastaba con el carácter suave de su mujer; Felipa, quien alentaba los intereses artísticos del joven Salvador. 

Dalí tuvo un hermano mayor, también llamado Salvador, que murió a los siete años, nueve meses antes de su nacimiento. Este hecho marcó mucho al artista, que se veía como la reencarnación de su hermano. 

Dalí tuvo también una hermana; Anna María, cuatro más menor que él. 

Siempre inquieto y artístico, desde niño se adentraría en el mundo de la pintura con tan sólo doce años, de la mano de unos amigos de sus padres, los Pichot. Gracias a esta familia de artistas y especialmente a la figura de Ramón Pichot, Dalí descubrió el impresionismo. 

Siguiendo los consejos de Pichot, su padre lo envió a clases de pintura. En mil novecientos diecinueve (1919), con catorce años, Dalí participó en una exposición colectiva de artistas locales y cuando cursaba sexto de bachillerato, editaron entre varios amigos la revista mensual Sudium. 

En febrero de mil novecientos veintiuno (1921), su madre murió a consecuencia de un cáncer. Fue un duro golpe para Salvador. Tras su muerte, el padre de Dalí contrajo matrimonio con la hermana de su esposa fallecida. Dalí nunca lo aprobó. 

A los dieciocho se trasladó a la Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid para estudiar en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Allí; coincidió con algunas futuras celebridades del arte español, como Federico García Lorca o Luis Buñuel. 

Dalí enseguida atrajo la atención de todos. Además de por sus pinturas, llamaba la atención por su carácter de estrafalario dandi. Lucía una larga melena con patillas, gabardina, medias y polainas al estilo de los artistas victorianos.

En mil novecientos veintitrés (1923), fue expulsado de la academia, acusado de encabezar una protesta estudiantil. En otoño regresa a la academia donde se ve obligado a repetir el curso. 

Durante el siguiente curso, no regresa a la academia de San Fernando, y Federico García Lorca pasa las vacaciones con Dalí en Cadaqués. 

Dalí fue expulsado de nuevo de la academia en mil novecientos veintiséis (1926), poco antes de sus exámenes finales, por afirmar que no había nadie en esta en condiciones de examinarlo. 

Viajó a París por primera vez, donde conocería a uno de sus ídolos, Pablo Picasso. Esa ciudad, además; vería florecer el surrealismo de Dalí, así como ese característico bigote, inspirado en Velázquez, que le acompañaría el resto de su vida. 

A través de Joan Miró entra en contacto con el grupo de surrealistas encabezado por André Breton. 

Se proyecta en la capital francesa el film Un Perro Andaluz, fruto de su colaboración con Luis Buñuel. 

En agosto de mil novecientos veintinueve (1929) conoció a su musa y futura esposa; Gala, nacida con el nombre de Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, era una inmigrante rusa once años mayor que él, que en aquél momento estaba con el poeta francés Paul Éluard. 

La relación con Gala fue la gota que colmó el vaso para romper la relación de Dalí con su padre, que ya estaba muy deteriorada. Ese año Dalí continuó exponiendo regularmente ya como profesional y se unió  oficialmente al grupo surrealista afincado en el barrio parisino de Montparnasse. 

Durante los dos años siguientes, su trabajo influyó enormemente en el rumbo del surrealismo. 

La edad de oro; segunda película realizada en colaboración con Buñuel, fue estrenada en el Estudio 28 de París. 

Publica en su libro La Femme Visible (La Mujer Visible), que recoge textos que habían aparecido en diversas revistas. 

A principios de la década de los treinta, Dalí haya su propio estilo, una mezcla de vanguardia y tradición. 

Dalí está integrado completamente en el surrealismo y empieza su consagración como pintor. 

En mil novecientos treinta y uno (1931), pintaría uno de sus cuadros más famosos, La persistencia de la memoria, también conocido como Los relojes blandos. 

En mil novecientos treinta y cuatro (1934), expone en la Expositión Du Cinquantenaire, en el Grand Palais de París, sin tener en cuenta la opinión del resto de surrealistas que habían decidido no participar en ella. Esto casi le supone la expulsión del grupo. 

Llegó a EE.UU. ese año gracias al marchante Julien Levi. La exposición de alguna de sus obras levantaron un enorme revuelo en Nueva York.

En diciembre de mil novecientos treinta y seis (1936), la revista Time le dedica la portada con fotografía de Man Ray y participa en la exposición Fantastic Art Dada Surrealism en el MoMA de Nueva York. 

En febrero del siguiente año, conoce a los hermanos Marx en Hollywood y empieza a trabajar en el guion de una película; Jirafas en ensalada de lomos de caballo, conocida en su última versión como La mujer surrealista, que nunca llegará a realizarse. 

Dalí y Gala regresan a Europa y en Londres, Stefan Zweig le presenta a Sigmund Freud. 

En el treinta y nueve (1939) se estrena en el Metropolitan de Nueva York el Ballet Bacchanale, con libreto, vestuario y decorados de Salvador Dalí. 

Ese mismo año Breton publica el artículo Tendencias más recientes de la pintura surrealista (Des tendances les plus récentes de la peinture surréaliste), que supone la expulsión de Dalí de este grupo. 

Con la incursión de las tropas alemanas a Burdeos, el matrimonio Dalí se traslada a vivir a Estados Unidos, donde permanecen hasta mil novecientos cuarenta y ocho (1948). 

Empieza su interés por el diseño de joyas que continuará a lo largo de su carrera. 

Se traslada a Hollywood en el cuarenta y cinco (1945) para trabajar con Alfred Hitchcock en la película Spellbound (Recuerda), cuyas secuencias oníricas realiza. 

En el cuarenta y seis (1946), Walt Disney lo contrata para que le ayude en la producción de la película Destino. 

De vuelta en Cataluña, empieza su etapa mística y nuclear, caracterizada por el tratamiento de temas religiosos y de aquellos relacionados con los avances científicos de la época, mostrándose especialmente interesado por los progresos relacionados con la fusión y la fisión nucleares. 

Al final de su carrera, Dalí no se limitó a la pintura, desarrollando nuevos proyectos que hicieron aumentar su popularidad de excéntrico. 

Creó un boletín y se convirtió en uno de los pioneros de la holografía artística. 

En mil novecientos sesenta y cinco (1965), se inaugura la muestra antológica Salvador Dalí 1910–1965 en el MoMA. 

En mil novecientos sesenta y ocho (1968), Dalí grabó un anuncio televisivo para la marca de chocolate Lanvin y en mil novecientos sesenta y nueve (1969) diseñó el logo de Chupa Chups. Ese mismo año trabajó como responsable creativo de la campaña publicitaria de Eurovisión y creó una gran escultura metálica, que se instaló en el escenario del Teatro Real de Madrid. 

Además; el primero de abril de mil novecientos setenta (1970), anuncia la creación de un museo en Figueres, que abrió sus puertas cuatro años más tarde. 

En mil novecientos ochenta y dos (1982), Juan Carlos I concedió a Dalí el título de Marqués de Púbol. 

Tras el fallecimiento de Gala ese mismo año (1982), Dalí se vio fuertemente afectado. Muere en Figueres el veintitrés de enero de mil novecientos ochenta y nueve (1989), a los ochenta y cuatro años de edad a consecuencia de un paro cardíaco, después de haber sufrido una larga agonía. 

Dalí, genio y figura extravagante y fascinante, tanto en sus obras como en su vida, es el representante más popular del surrealismo y uno de los artistas españoles más universales.

I expected DBX Season 2 to be done by now, but to my surprise its still going on. So for fun, I decided to share with you 10 Death Battles I hope we do.

For starters, obvious ones like Darkseid Vs Thanos, Galactus Vs Unicron, matches like those are off the table. Obviously everyone wants them but my list here will be matches you probably never heard of one or both competitors.

The Angry Video Game Nerd Vs “Captain N” Kevin Keene

Both are masters at video games. While one lives out their dreams of being in their favorite video games, the other lives a nightmare having to play the worse games out there. One see only positive things while the others see the negatives. And both have a relationship with The Adventures of Bayou Billy. I honestly like this idea more than Nerd Vs Critic since, well, we’ve seen Nerd Vs Critic before. And nothing will top their final battle.

“Captain S” Chad Belmont Vs “Captain SNES” Alex Williams

The Console Wars continues as the Champions of the Genesis (Mega Drive) and the SNES (Super Famicon) battle it out to determine which system was the best. Captain S is a combination of Captain N with Save by the Bell that had 10 Episodes, a crossover with the Nerd, and a continuation in comic format. Captain SNES is a Sprite Comic continuation of Captain N, taking it in directions the original never did. Considering one is crude while the other was shocked to hear such a colorful word, it would be a fun fight to see.

Red Vs Henry Stickmin

Spoiler, but next week will include a top 10 of inspired Death Battles and one of them is of this match. Red is frikkin insane when it comes to what he is capable of while Henry has done some impressive things 1/4 of the time and hilarious things the rest. This just was a fun one to see those people do and one I think would be fun to see done by Death Battle legit.

Sans Vs Kid Radd

Some of the matches I’ve seen done with Sans really makes me question how they think of things. But ultimately, Sans is a person who just so happens to know how his game mechanics work and knows how to make it work for him. So the best person I think would do the job is someone who also has to work within his game mechanics. And there is a lot of interesting questions Kid Radd brought up that Undertale also addresses. 

John Kramer Vs Fred Jones

Both are people who are obsessed with traps for the greater good. While one creates traps to teach people a lesson, the other creates traps to capture those who do crimes. This idea was inspired by a Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated episode known as “Escape from Mystery Manor” where Fred and the gang are placed in Saw like traps.

Revolver Ocelot Vs Rushuna Tendō

Metal Gear is one of the few franchises in Death Battle that has appeared in more than one match but never defeated. Even considering DBX, Metal Gear has yet to face a defeat. Rushuna is basically, as a reviewer has said, “Vash the Stampede with Boobs”. With how far-fetched MG has gotten, might as well pit them against an Anime Character and see if they can push their luck.

Space Dandy Vs Star Lord

With the movie version of Guardians of the Galaxy, personality wise these two are pretty close. But if you haven’t seen what these two can do you’ll have your mind blown with some of the stuff they were involved in. And honestly, with their personalities in mind this would be a fun match when it comes to dialogue.

Spike Spiegel Vs Revy

The most serious match when it comes to research and story. These two are impressive gunmen for their respected series. Seeing these two go in a gunfight would be brilliant to see. 

Lucy Vs Shiro

From most serious when it comes one thing to a more serious match up when it comes to content. Two sweet innocent girls that hide underneath something horrifying. This would be the most bloody Death Battle of them all as even the research part will contain more blood than even the bloodiest of Death Battles.

Toejam Vs PaRappa the Rapper

To end this list is the longest of long shots. A Death Battle request I doubt will be exactly how I want it. It would be a researched battle between these two rapping entities. But before the fight begins, it turns into a crossover with Epic Rap Battles of History as the two rap it out. The loser gets shot by Boomstick as we find out why the winner would win. That is how I would love this battle to go if it ever does happen, which I doubt.

How much do League of Legends Pros Earn?

How much do League of Legends Pros Earn?

 Hey. We actually recovered this topic in more detail and with more recent information. So what are you waiting for? Find out how much LoL Pros earn here.

  Aiming to be a LoL Pro yourself? Check out our How To Get To Diamond In League Of Legends Guide for pro tips and tricks to help you on the way!

  For most gamers, playing professionally and earning a living from playing your favourite games would be a dream come true, but how much money can you actually make from it?

With the competitive League of Legends scene growing year on year, LoL Pros can now earn significant amounts of money – with the top players earning up to $1,000,000 (yes, a million dollars) per year. Whilst most LoL Pros won’t reach such a vast sum of money, they are still well rewarded for their time and skills thanks to a basic wage of $12,500 per split (section 2.2 of LCS rules) courtesy of Riot Games (the creators of League of Legends).

Fortunately Sponsorships and subscribers can add a significant amount to that, but these are only available for the most popular LoL streamers and players.

How LoL Pros Earn their money

There are various sources of income for LoL pros, with earnings from each depending on a variety of factors. All LoL Pros receive the basic wage from Riot of $12,500 per split (this includes sub players) and have all living costs paid for by their teams.

The most popular players will have additional earnings from sponsorships, subscribers and advertising revenue, whilst the most successful players will gain additional earnings through tournament prize winnings.

While every possible source of income would take us an extremely long time to list we’ve taken a brief look at some of the major sources of money for people trying to make a career out of League of Legends.

Sponsorships

Only the most popular LoL Pros will get sponsored for big money. Examples of this would be Ocelot (although no longer active, he is still incredibly popular in the community), Dyrus, Bjergsen and Rekkles. Sponsorship earnings for LoL Pros will vary wildly, but figures upwards of $10,000 per sponsor per split are not unheard of – and players may have more than one sponsorship deal.

Streaming Adverts

For the popular LoL Pros, streaming is their best source of income. In fact, some pros make more from streaming than they do in prize money or from sponsorships. The most popular platform for streamers is Twitch.tv, which pays out $3.50 for every 1,000 people who watch an advert during a stream. For players such as Bjergsen and Dyrus who can easily draw in 40,000 viewers per stream the earning potential is huge. Even if viewers are using software such as adblock, streamers who play one advert an hour can expect to earn over $100 per hour, or almost $200,000 a year from streaming alone if doing it full time.

Streaming Subs

Subscribers are where Twitch.tv streamers make most of their earnings. It costs viewers $4.99 per month to subscribe to a stream, of which the streamer gets $2.50 per month. It might not sound like much, but it quickly adds up. Top streamers like The Oddone have thousands of subs and routinely bring in over $5,000 a month in sub earnings alone. Although subscribers don’t get shown adverts (which reduces advertising income for streamers), one viewer would have to view over a thousand adverts to bring in the same revenue for the streamer as one subscriber.

Streaming Sponsors

Many streamers will have their channels sponsored by related companies. One such example would be the CD-Key sites promoted by many LoL Pros. The streamer will receive a commission every time someone viewing his uses their link to purchase a CD-Key. Although the commission is small, it can quickly add up. Actual earnings for this aren’t disclosed so we don’t really know the true amounts, but estimates would be anywhere from $500 – $1,500 for the top streamers. Other companies will also often sponsor streamers – for example Cloud9 have a partnership with Kingston HyperX who sponsor all their streams. This usually amounts to around $1000 per player.

Riot Games Wage

As part of their commitment to growing eSports, Riot Games (the creators of League of Legends) pay all players in a team a basic salary, as per section 2.2 of the LCS rules for Season 5. This salary amounts to $12,500 per player (including subs) per split, which works out at around $25,000 per year (assuming the team isn’t relegated for either split). Players usually also have all their living expenses paid for by their team (rent, food etc) so the $12,500 salary goes further than you might expect.

Tournament money

Only the best players will earn significant tournament money, but the earnings potential is huge. Teams who finish first in the EU LCS receive an additional $10,000 per player (the amount decreases for 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed teams), whilst the winners of the LoL World Championship can expect prize money of up to $200,000 per player. LoL Pros may also take tournament winnings from smaller tournaments throughout the year, such as IEM or local/regional competitions. For reference, the LoL Pro with the most tournament winnings ever is bebe, previously of Taipei Assassins, who has earned over $275,000 to date.

Top Earning LoL Pros

Whilst difficult to estimate the total earnings of LoL Pros, we do know the lifetime top earners of tournament prize money:

  Bebe: $276,000

Faker: $273,000

Imp: $259,000

DanDy: $258,000

Impact: $257,000

As you can see, the top 5 earners of tournament prize money are all from the SEA region. However, even though NA and EU LoL Pros are behind in prize money, they make considerably more in sponsorship and streaming opportunities. So much so that many players from SEA are actively moving to NA/EU to increase their earnings, even though the standard of competition is lower.

The top earning LoL Pro of all time is believed to be Ocelot, who managed to increase his earnings to around $1,000,000 per year through a combination of merchandise, sponsorships and prize money. Pretty impressive!

TL;DR So how much do LoL Pros earn? From $12,500 to $1,000,000 a year, depending on how successful and popular they are.
